Solarte went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and two runs in a 9-8 win against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

This was a rare offensive outburst for a Padres team that hasn't put a lot of them together, but what offense they have mustered this season has typically run through Solarte and Wil Myers (as well as Matt Kemp, who was traded to Atlanta at the deadline). Solarte continues to enjoy the best batting average of his three-year career (.290) and remains just one shy of last season's 14 homers.
